FIERCE BLAZE AT BUENA
Odd Fellows' Hall Destroyed by Fire
at Early Hour Sunday
Morning.
The Odd Fellows' hall at Buena
Vista, a historic village on the banks
of the Willamette river seven miles
south of Independence, was totally
destroyed by fire at an early hour
Sunday morning. A stock of goods
owned by McReynolds Brothers was
lost. The loss of the postoffice, kept
in the store, was complete. The cause
of the fire is unknown.
The building was a two-story
structure, valued at $2000, and was
insured for $1000. The loss on the
stock of goods is about $4000, and is
covered by insurance to the amount
of $2500.
The upper story of the building was
used as a lodge room by the Odd Fel
lows, Rebekahs, Woodmen and Circle.
The fixtures and paraphernalia of the
orders were lost. The Odd Fellows
will probably rebuild.

Captured Red Fox.
Everett Staats and his pack of well-
trained fox hounds captured a red fox
n the hills north of Corvallis one day
last week. Pved foxes are very rare in

red foxes sent here from the East and

from them. They are much larger
than the common grey fox, resem

Few Horses in Parade.
The horse show in Dallas lastSatur
day was not as successful an'affair as
It promoters had hoped it would b.
The rainy weather in the early part
of the week put the roads in miserable
condition for travel, and outside
horsemen would not bring their fine
animals through the mud to exhibit
them. A laige number of horsemen
were present, however, and all ex
pressed the hope that conditions would .
be more favorable for a good show
next year. Several fine horses owned
in Dallas were brought out for the
afternoon parade, and were admired
by the hundreds of farmers who were
in town attending the mohair sale.
